Another box is no gaurantee. the synchro cone must not be too worn and the 2nd gear not free to float endways. !st gear engagement depth must be adjusted moderately whereas deep engagement seems the instinctive thing to pursue. The wrong selector ball allows the selectors to float and worn forks allow the gear to float.
I dunno what owners do about very worn cones. I often wonder if simple rings could be pressed/shrunk on without all the elaborate and very precise broachings. 2nd gear seems amenable to something.
With most makes of gearbox care is necessary with the interlock removed. If the syncro balls pop entirely out there is no option but a complete dismantle. Can be irksome when still in the car!
